Hi ladies I'm cd33 today!!! I tested 2 days ago and bfn :( I was wondering if anyone else is a symptom spotter or anyone with a bfp can throw in their advice please :)

Iv had sore bb's on and off as well as constipation on and off. Iv also been getting randomly nauseous! Also very tired but I do suffer with m.e. Iv been convinced af is going to show over the last week because I have been getting on/off period pains in my lower back and top of the legs!! But so far she's a no show :) my periods are however very irregular!!!

Another odd thing going on this month is my cervix. (sorry this could be tmi). When I was trying for my second I always checked my cervix to see if it would close and it never would it would always be slightly open even when I managed to get pregnant it stayed slightly open (I put this down to already giving birth before). Iv been randomly checking my cervix during this tww and it's always been open (only checked about 3x) however I checked this morning and it's quite far back still within reach tho and it's closed!!! Also quite lotiony- sorry!! I have also been getting hot flushes.

Anyone else in tww who would like to join?? :) :)

I have no idea. Some say it's too early. Mine have been really sore since the day after ovulation and I'm wondering too if it could be a sign. Sorry not much help!

user1466632763 · 23/06/2016 15:56

Hello, I'm a newbie to mumsnet!!

I had my first MC at the end of March.

I've since had 3 cycles, last period I was extremely tired and sick feeling with it..
I went to the doctors and turns out my iron was low.

I'm now taking iron with my folic acid and other vits.

My first day of my last period was 8th June normally a 22-24 day cycle.. I've been keeping track on Ovia.

But the last couple of days I've had a bit of pink after wiping (sorry!) and today I've been having on and off pink spotting which to me seems like a lot.

I've not had this before to this extent, previously just a very small amount but just before my period.

If anyone has any idea what this might be...

Hoping for a pregnancy!

Hi girls! I am CD 23 of typically 28. Didn't use any OPK this month as I find them hard to interpret and stressful, decided to DTD every other day until day 19 and see what happens. I am symptom spotting like CRAZY this week. Feeling so nauseous over last few days but esp today and at one point thought I was going to faint! Ran to boots and spent £40 on pregnancy tests. Used first response but BPN. Genuinely gutted :-(

user1466632763 · 23/06/2016 19:32

Bridget I'm spotting like crazy!! Don't know what's going on... Feels like forever until I can test

user1466632763 · 23/06/2016 19:32

Also feeling sick, tired .. Heavy boobs

BridgetDoodle · 23/06/2016 19:37

User my boobs also seem to have grown but they do tend to do so before AF so not reliable. When are you going to test? Even though I got BFN today I am just hoping against hope that it is too early. Will try to hold out till due AF...but not sure if I'll be able to!

user1466632763 · 23/06/2016 20:17

Bridget I'm going to try and hold off until Wednesday... Not sure if I'll be able to. I've had so many negatives I would rather wait a few days longer this time. What about you?

I'm moving house tomorrow, so hoping the move may distract me.

How are you feeling?

BridgetDoodle · 23/06/2016 21:29

It gets expensive too wasting these tests on negatives!
I am also going to try and hold off to Wednesday but we shall see. I have a busy day tomorrow baby sitting my cousins 18 week old (super cute) so I can have a little practice with her :-)
Distractions are good, can't get a bigger one than moving house so fingers crossed you'll be too busy to even think about it and before you know it Wednesday will be here and we both get BFP!!!

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 12:23

Some of you might of seen my other post but I got a faint line on a first response this am. After a chemical in April I am not counting my chickens yet.

user1466632763 · 24/06/2016 12:31

Jpclarke great news! I'll cross everything for you :)

How many days until you are due on?

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2016 12:32

Congrats jpclarke! Will you test again tomorrow and hope for a darker line?

BridgetDoodle · 24/06/2016 12:34

Congrats jpclarke, hope all goes well for you and those lines continue to get darker :-)

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2016 12:34

Good luck with your house move user, how exciting! Bridget when is af due?

I've got Ovia telling me to test today, day 24 when af would normally be due, and I'm without symptoms of any kind apart from massive sore boobs. But I think I'll give it a couple of days.

How's everyone else doing?

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 12:45

Thanks ladies,
I will just have to take every day as it comes now. So tempted to do a digital now because I haven't peed since this morning when I took fr but am afraid of the result

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 12:46

I am not exactly sure when I am due, my app says Sunday but my cycles can range anywhere from 27-32 days today being cd 30

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2016 13:12

If it'll make you feel better then def do another test JP. If not today, then wait for first wee tomorrow morning?

BridgetDoodle · 24/06/2016 13:16

AnnLovesGilbert I am due on Wednesday so 4/5 days away. Totally symptomless today so I have accepted I'm more than likely out this month. DH sent me flowers as a surprise this morning to cheer me up, he's been so lovely when I was down yesterday so at least I have him. Just want to be able to give him good news!
I admire your self restraint with the testing, I need to learn to wait Hmm

ThePartyArtist · 24/06/2016 14:24

As well as sore nipples (getting steadily less sore) and what may have been implantation bleed yesterday, I have notice I've gone from lots of creamy CM to less quantity (still just as creamy) mixed with watery. Period due in next week or so. Is the gradual change from creamy to watery CM and the progressively less sore nipples a good or bad sign, does anyone know?

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2016 15:11

Not a clue Party, sorry. Hopefully someone else will. I had creamy cm all of last week which has lessened over this week but I don't know what it means either. I've lost my generally grim shattered feeling. But could have been anything, when you're symptom spotting everything seems a potential "thing"!

Your DH sounds fab Bridget, what a love.

One of the reasons I'm hesitating to test is my DP who's trying not to get his hopes up. That probably sounds mad. But I'm going to see if af is here by Sunday and if not then I'll be a couple of days late and will feel like testing has a point. I've got a mad peanut craving that's been going on for days.

OliveOrTwist · 24/06/2016 16:44

Congrats Clarke! Wishing you a healthy, uneventful 9 months Flowers x

Soooo after thinking AF had arrived on Weds night because I had some light bleeding (I'd say it was definitely more than spotting) I've had nothing all day yesterday and all day today. Nada!! No cramps. No cm. No AF. Am I back in? Wtf is going on?! Confused

BridgetDoodle · 24/06/2016 17:09

Party an implantation bleed is a positive sign! I've never had any kind of indication of that so fingers crossed!
Anne, Sunday isn't too far away so here's hoping AF stays away until then. At least we have engaged partners, I know what you mean about getting their hopes up. It's always the woman giving the news! Do you have any kids?

katherine7172 · 24/06/2016 21:40

Congratulations on your BFP jpclarke Smile

user1466632763 · 24/06/2016 22:19

So... I'm still feeling on and off sick, I'm hoping I conceived over a week ago..

Boobies still feeling extra big and not as much spotting today, hardly any!

But.. Just had sex with my partner and (sorry for the info) there was a lot of blood, everything seem extra tight as well .

What the hell is going on!

Not due on for a while..

jpclarke · 24/06/2016 22:50

Thanks everyone I resisted testing again today, might just wait until Sunday. I am afraid to actually believe it yet, so hopefully it all works out this time.

I had some ewcm last week and for the first time in my 2 full pregnancies and 1 chemical I did notice a browny discharge this time on Tuesday so I am thinking that was implantation. I also had sore nipples so I am crossing my fingers for you Party.

A little nausea I have found in the past to be a good sign User so hopefully you too will be celebrating a bfp.

Anne, it's so hard to deal with dh's emotions around ttc on top of our own, as I think sometimes they all think they are supermen and they can deliver the results asap, and then when it doesn't happen as quickly as they would like their pride gets hurt. But it is really nice that he is very interested but you prob don't need the extra pressure. You need to relax and think positive thoughts for yourself.

Olive, I really don't know what to say. I have no experience of that. Maybe it was implantation?? Maybe try test in a few days. Our bodies like to play tricks on us when ttc.

jpclarke · 25/06/2016 08:11

Good morning ladies, this is this mornings result
